"The human body is made up of collections of cells possessing one function organized together to form organs and tissues. In all its normal day-to-day behavior and function, there is a fixed pattern along which the normal human cells behave. In cancer, this property is lost. The behavior of the cells becomes eccentric and unpredictable wherein the cells start multiplying unlimitedly not knowing where to stop. Thus Cancer may be defined as a purposeless unlimited multiplication of cells without control. It should be noted that normally during embryonic development, too, there is an extremely rapid multiplication of cells but the body has certain forces called the Structuring and Organizing forces that hold this proliferating cells material in check, organize it and differentiate it into specific organs and systems. Cancer occurs when these form-giving structuring forces break down, failing to control cell growth."

"The natural defence mechanisms of the human body which guard against all diseases are also highly effective to detect the autonomous proliferation of cancer cells. It is only when our main defence mechanism - the immune system breaks down that a continuously growing tumor develops. It is known that any immunodeficiency as a consequence of genetic conditions or age is associated with an increased risk of malignancy."
